Please state your religion.
Please give a scripture reference (if one exists) for your answer.
If your faith has a couple of "equally important" commandments (or equivalents), it is ok to share them. I would like to see as many different faiths answer as possible.

I am a Christian who practices his faith in the Catholic tradition.
Matthew 22:36-39 states:
"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"
He said to him, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
With love in Christ.

despite if this is no longer think of , In all my time at here i will somewhat actually say that no longer one christian answer I easily have ever seen or had ,were immediately from the persons own theory on the difficulty or their own interpretation ,it somewhat is the two a psalm verse or a paragraph taken completely at entertainment and twisted into the situation to hand to respond to.eg. Do you have self assurance in god? The holy father almighty condemns people who're against him. this is no longer an answer the respond is particular or no as a results of fact.....and so on this is extremely practically robotic. love and lightweight

You are not to make an image or picture of anything in heaven or on the earth or in the waters under the earth:

I'm Mormon.
And since we believe in Christ, I would have to say that our greatest commandment would have to be the same as what Christ said the greatest commandment is, which is found in Mark 12:28-31.
28 ¶ And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Harm none, do what ye will.
There are no scriptures, unfortunately, except personal "scriptures" that very solitary to solitary or circle to cirlce, hell even "coven to coven". Its a basic Golden Rule that most religions have. Just worded differently.
The rest of my religion's "commandments" (my peaceful religion doesn't command anyone's obedience, Karma automatically places the punishment for misdeeds BEFORE you die) are all tied into the knowledge and workings of the religion itself.

The first principle of Unitarian Universalism is that every person has worth and dignity.
I am also a Humanist and believe that, because life is precious and all too brief, we should endeavor to make the best use of the time we have. Humanists don't have a set-in-stone, agreed-upon creed, but most believe in the ethic of reciprocity (Golden Rule). As Col. Robert Green Ingersoll phrased it: "Give to every human being every right that you claim for yourself."

Matthew 22: 36-40
"Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
